The study Participants in the cheFare 2012, 2013/2014 and 2015 call for proposal (2012-2015) collects information on the participants in the cheFare call, 2012, 2013/2014 and 2015 editions. cheFare is an agency for cultural transformation that was founded in 2012 as a call for innovative cultural projects; since 2014 it has been a cultural association that produces, narrates and aggregates concrete practices and theoretical reflections on ongoing cultural changes. cheFare's activity is divided between the production of funding calls for innovative cultural organisations, the editorial activity of in-depth analysis of the main cultural transformations, the conduction of scientific research, the development of territorial projects and the organisation on a local and national scale of moments of confrontation, collaboration, growth and training for professionals and operators in the worlds of culture. The cheFare calls for proposals were created to seek bottom-up responses to the new needs of cultural production, targeting extremely diverse types of organisations in search of innovative projects capable of dialoguing with new audiences, building social cohesion in the territories, fostering open and accessible culture, and experimenting with forms of economic sustainability. Starting in 2012, over the course of three editions, the cheFare call has mapped more than 1,800 innovative cultural projects, received more than 170,000 votes from the public in the online selection phases, and financed 5 projects for a total of € 350,000. The data distributed was built on the basis of information collected on the Proponents who participated in the three editions of the call. The information mainly concerns the main characteristics of the organisation that submitted the application, such as, for instance, the type of legal structure, the number of collaborators/employees, the region of origin, etc. The content of the project is described using a set of keywords selected by the applicant from a pre-coded list in the application form.
